About Health Professions Education for Sustainable Healthcare

This collection aims to showcase research and critical perspectives on the priorities and educational strategies needed to build a sustainable health workforce capable of addressing global health challenges.
International forums such as the AMEE conference demonstrate the power of collaboration among educators, trainers, practitioners, and students across all health professions worldwide. These shared efforts underscore the urgent need to prepare a proactive health workforce for a complex global context. This themed collection aims to bring together scholarship and practice that explore how health professions education can respond to planetary health imperatives.

We invite submissions that address innovative approaches, evidence-based strategies, and critical analyses of education for a resilient and adaptable health workforce. Topics may include, but are not limited to:

• Global workforce shortages and educational strategies to meet population health needs
• Unequal distribution of healthcare professionals and its implications for education
• Impact of migration and mobility on workforce education
• Disaster preparedness and emergency response education
• Building resilience in health professions education for challenging environmental contexts
• Educational strategies for workforce planning and sustainability
• Training for conflict and humanitarian response

This collection seeks contributions that advance understanding and practice at the intersection of health professions education, planetary health, and workforce sustainability.
